A Q-Tip Can Be a Toy

So I did try a Bodyrock workout yesterday and omg that baby was HARD! I did their 20 Minute Interval Cardio Workout which was 5 different tabatas. Wow, during some of the tabatas I had to make the exercises a bit easier to give myself a break because it felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest and I could barely catch my breath haha. That being said, I loved it! And I totally plan to start incorporating more workouts from that site into my workout routine!

I didn’t get any shopping done yesterday which means that I have lots to do here today and the next few days. I’m actually kind of glad I didn’t go yesterday because I heard the mall crowds were a bit intense haha.

So lately Zoey’s new favorite kind of toy is a q-tip. Totally random right? But she loves them! It’s crazy…it’s like she can sense when I have one and she starts to get it from me haha. She likes to tear the cotton up on them and toss them around and pounce on them. Oh kittens…they are so fun :). I caught some pics of her yesterday playing with one.

I mean, I guess it’s good that I don’t have to go buy some expensive toys at the pet store!

In other random, Lindsay news I tried the Green Mountain Spicy Eggnog k-cup yesterday morning, and I used the Coffee-mate Eggnog Latte flavored creamer with it. Oh wow, talk about a winning combination guys! It tasted like a fancy Starbucks drink….without the huge amount of calories! I realize coffee creamer isn’t always the healthiest thing in the world, but it’s one of my guilty pleasures. Plus, I figure it won’t do that much harm since I don’t use all that much of it :).

On the to-do list for today: get a gym pass, workout, do lots of Christmas shopping, and download and start reading the book Violets of March by Sarah Jio. It’s the book that Julie chose for her December book club and I totally want to participate! This book sounds fabulous!

I hope you all have a great Monday!

Questions:

Do your pets find random things to use as toys?

Do you like coffee creamer? What’s your favorite flavor?

About In Sweetness and In Health

I'm Lindsay! I'm a 23 year-old graduate student in occupational therapy. I love all things health and fitness related and this blog will document my life as I learn to really love myself, try to stop worrying so much about my body, and truly take advantage of all the sweet things that life offers us.

My cat uses Q-tips too! We have to remove the cotton from the ends, though, or she gets what we like to call “Dairy Queen” swirls in her cat box! We call the de-cottoned Q-tips her “stick”, and she plays fetch with it. She even responds when we tell her, “Go get your stick.”

Believe it or not, I am NOT a fan of coffee creamer. I love my coffee, and I love sweets … so you would THINK I would love coffee creamer. But no. I prefer just a little milk. Every time I use creamer, I’m disappointed because I WANT to love it haha!

The cat I have at my dad’s house will literally think my hand is a toy. They play with anything! I’ve never tried bodyrock, but I definitely will now! Good luck with your Christmas shopping! I looove coffee creamer. I used to be obsessed with international delight and stuff, but I quit drinking it because of all the not so great ingredients in it. I started drinking silk french vanilla and it is amazing! I will never go back to the other stuff, but I do need my silk 🙂

Aww your kitten is adorable! TOO CUTE! YESS, my cat loves the most random things, he LOVES tape, in fact he’ll try to eat it sometimes and he loves boxes and his newest thing is playing in the sink in front of the mirror… ? Narcissistic maybe? hehe 😛

I feel like EVERYWHERE there is shopping chaos, I’m a bit over it already..lol Guess the pregnancy hormones don’t allow me to have much patience.

&& I totally agree, creamer is just one of those sweet joys in life that should be induldged (with some moderation) and I LOVE IT! I don’t know if I’ve ever tried egg nog honestly, but as a coffee I’m sure it’d be delish! 🙂

Bodyrock workouts are the best! They were a lifesaver during the summer when I couldn’t do my regular gym routine. And as far as cat toys go, I’ve found a small mirror or a laser pointer is all the entertainment a feline friend will ever need. Seriously.
